SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SERVICING CABLE

摘要

A system for servicing cable includes a plurality of jaws operable between an open position for receiving a cable in a direction transverse to a cable axis such that the cable extends axially beyond the jaws in two directions, and a closed position for engaging and rotationally fixing the cable about the cable axis. A tool arrangement is disposed proximate to the base and includes at least one tool operable to perform work on the cable when the cable is engaged by the jaws. The tool arrangement is operable to perform at least one of a rotational movement around or an axial movement along the cable axis and to operate the tool.

1. A system for servicing cable, comprising:
a base including a plurality of jaws operable between an open position for receiving a cable and a closed position for engaging the cable such that the cable is rotationally fixed, the jaws having a first side and a second side and including an aperture disposed axially therethrough from the first side to the second side such that the cable extends through the aperture and axially beyond the first side and the second side when the jaws are closed and engage the cable; and a tool arrangement axially disposed proximate to the base and including at least one tool, the tool arrangement being operable to perform at least one of a rotational movement around or an axially movement along an outside of the cable when the cable is engaged by the jaws, and further operable to operate the tool to perform work on the cable.
